Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry Recipe

Chicken and broccoli stir-fry doesn’t get any easier than this recipe.  This is the second time I’ve made this and it’s much easier and faster than the chicken and broccoli recipe I tried about a year ago.  I had some fresh snow peas in the fridge too so I added them this time but that’s optional of course.

Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry

From: What2Cook

Ingredients:

1 – 2lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1″ pieces (I like the thin sliced ones)
2 – 3 cups fresh broccoli florets (frozen work too)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 teaspoons finely chopped ginger
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons soy sauce (I prefer low sodium)
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Directions:

1.  Heat stir-fry pan or skillet on medium heat.  Spray with non-stick cooking spray (or add 1 teaspoon sesame oil).  Add chicken, garlic and ginger.  Cook until chicken is starting to brown and is cooked throughout.

2.  Add 3/4 cup of the chicken broth, soy sauce and sugar.  Cook for another 3 – 5 minutes stirring twice.

3.  Add raw broccoli and cover.  Cook for about 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is fork tender.

4.  In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup broth.  Add to stir-fry mixture and mix well.  Cook a couple more minutes until sauce thickens.  Serve over rice.
